Silent Reason "Bannon"'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Bannon is a striking white boy with red spots. He is friendly, outgoing and loving. He came to All About Hounds from Daytona Beach, Florida on November 10, 2012. This handsome hound can't wait to find a family to call his very own!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Silent Reason "Bannon", a Smyrna Greyhound dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Greyhound for sale in Smyrna, or seeking a Greyhound dog from a breeder in Smyrna.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Smyrna already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Smyrna breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Greyhound breeders who help with Greyhound rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Smyrna paves the way for another one to be saved.

Prabal Gurung Spring 2013 | Pictures
Prabal Gurung Spring 2013
Hot, hot, hot in so many ways: Prabal Gurung's Spring 2013 collection was unforgettable, and it wasn't just the sexy, flouncy dresses. The show was set inside an enormous warehouse with blacked-out windows, and unfortunately, no air circulation. On a surprisingly hot and muggy New York City day, this meant a lot of editors got an unexpected steam session. The lights finally went up, and out from the fog (a fog machine but no fans = unfortunate) came Joan Smalls, marching out in a cool white look that showcased the incredibly light possibilities of layering. Long sheer tops and dresses were worn over pants — a nod to Gurung's Nepalese roots. Even the cocktail dresses layered on wispy frills of ruffles and feathers that didn't weigh down the look; quite the opposite, these bouncy dresses were a highlight of the show. Kate Bosworth and Girls star Allison Williams sat rooted in the front, and Bosworth busily snapped pics of the looks as they went by — snapping photos of her future red-carpet looks, perhaps?
- Trends: Ruffles, sheerness, trumpet dresses, drop-waist dresses, slouchy shorts, graphic prints, monochromatic dressing.
- Colors: Black, white, burgundy, cornflower blue, red.
- Key Piece: A very cool sleeveless burgundy printed coat, the drop-waist dresses with ruffles, the sharp blazers that opened the show.
- Accessories: Crisscross ankle-strap shoes.
- Who Should Wear It: Kate Bosworth sat in the front row, and she should definitely wear the flouncy drop-waist dresses — they're perfect for her. It would be great to see Gwyneth Paltrow rock one of the pant, blazer, or sheer top looks, as she could totally pull it off.

Rated 1 out of 5 by RB75206 Horrible service
The service was really poor. No basic amenities like a toothbrush upon request. And then I called the front desk right at midnight and tell them that I'm leaving my breakfast order tag outside the door, and next morning the tag is still outside the door.

I did not feel welcome and one of the cleaning service people broke something of mine.

I travel several times throughout the month for my career. I am always delighted to stay at this property. The front desk staff know me by name and the coustomer service is just excellent. The food within the facility is excellent. One issue that almost makes me want to stay away ~VALET~. Those guys seem like they hate there job and the customer service is just rediculous. I can be seen struggling with my lugguage and they obviously never want to assist me. There is one guy in particular that sees me and simply goes the other way. Other than the gents who park the vehicles and assist with lugguage (if they assist at all) this place is great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by TECSK8 Comfy Room, Fridge empty, Need more towels
On check-in, the process was smooth and the personnel were very friendly and welcoming. I was told that money would be held on my card for incidentals, but my room fridge was empty. The room was very comfy, especially the beds. I slept great. But, the one armchair was very dirty. The room was cleaned in a timely fashion and cleaned quite well. But when I asked for extra towels, they weren't provided. Maybe they forgot. The pool was clean and warm, and the hot tub was a perfect temperature. The workout room seemed newly equipped, and is very nice. Overall, a pretty good, relaxing experience. I'll be glad when my SPG points earn me an upgrade.

Rated 2 out of 5 by FamilyTravelDec2012 Check-in issues
We've had great experiences with Westin hotels so our expectation was pretty high for this stay. Unfortunately, problems we encountered while checking in ruined our stay and will make me think twice about booking another stay at a Westin property. My wife and I with our two young and tired kids were checking in at around 11pm and ended up having to move rooms two times. The first room they gave us was not cleaned and did not have two double beds like we requested. The front desk had us go back down to get another room which turned out to be one that smelled like a smoking room. When we called the front desk to ask for another room, they told us to wait for someone to bring the key to a different room. We waited almost 20 mins and nobody came. The bellhop eventually let us in to another room. When we went back down to the front desk to have our room key replaced, the lady told us she cannot help us because she was busy. I had to explain to her our troubles and that I only needed a new key. We also met two other groups of guests who said that they also were given un-cleaned rooms. As I said, we've never had a bad experience with Westin so this was pretty disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angie30 AMAZING experience
I arrived to the airport to find the shuttle was extremely easy to find and arrived with wonderful smiles and greetings from the hotel staff. Upon check-in, I was given the Delta shuttle schedule which I was about to ask for. I had forgotten my phone charger which was causing me a lot of stress due to flight plans the next day leading me to another city. The kind security gentlemen working the night of 11/14 (front desk thought his name was Mr. Truitt) brought up a box of chargers for me to borrow. I wanted to thank him with gratuity and he even refused and said it was his pleasure. I couldn't believe the hospitality he showed toward a complete stranger. The morning after my stay, the morning staff saw me standing at the door around 6am and offered to help me in many ways and their smiles really boosted my confidence and mood for the interview I was walking into. Without the kindness and genuine spirit to serve, I would not have gotten the job. I worked as a manager in hotels for about 5 years and would have been honored to have any of these individuals alongside of me and I know AMAZING service should always be recognized. Thank you Atlanta team for a memorable experience.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anthony36 NOISY and a 3:57am FIRE ALARM EVACUATION
I had the most horrific time at this hotel. I LOVE the Westin, but this experience has made me think otherwise. There were loud unruling events held during my two day stay. I had to wear my earphones to sleep since the noise was so loud in the hotel. I asked for a higher floor but advised there were no more rooms. People were running up and down the halls. I was very tired from traveling and wanted to relax. Once I was able to get into a good sleep, the loud speakers started going off with sirens and alerting everyone to evacuate. After reaching the front of the hotel (via taking the stairs), All the guest waited in front of the hotel and NO ONE from the staff came out to talk to us. We all were looking through the glass seeing the housekeeping still cleaning the guest areas in the lobby. Well if it was not an emergency and people were still working like nothing was going on, someone should have come and told us. After 20 minutes someone yelled out, FALSE ALARM.The staff was not courteous and acted as if they could care less. After reaching my room, about 15 minutes later, the loud speakers started going off again saying it was an ALL CLEAR. Since there were so many people running around i guess it was expected to happen!! Very awful experience.

Overall, the hotel was nice. The Good: The gym was clean and well appointed. The staff was friendly and the food was good, both breakfast and dinner. The service in the restaurant was noteworthy. The bed was comfortable and the room was a good size. Close to the airport. The Bad: The hotel has a nice layout and verges on elegant; however it is starting to show wear and lack of care. The carpets in the hallways are stained and need to be stretched. The area near the vending machines had a musty smell. The carpet in the room needed shampooing. Just needs some attention to detail. Parking is expensive.

Rated 1 out of 5 by peaches27 Terrible Experience at the Westin Atlanta Airport
our experience at the Westin Atlanta Airport was far from perfect. Aside from not having the accomodations promised at booking, the staff was less than friendly in meeting our concerns. I booked seven (7) rooms for our stay. One of the rooms had mildew on the floor, spores on the walls, and the carpret was saturated in water. After speaking with three different individuals and many hours voicing my concern, we were moved to the 9th floor to another room. It took approximately 3 hours to get someone in management to understand the need for moving rooms with small children and upper respiratory infection tendencies. I was first told "we will get maintenece to come and check first thing in the morning." Secondly, I was charged an additional incidential fee for the rooms booked. At booking, I observed 7 incidental holds on my account. The next morning, there was an 8th charge on my account. The manager was very absurbed in responding to me; causing me to become short and frustrated. After threating to talk with the general manager, I was given my fee back for parking. However, the extra charge still remains out of my account; therefore, I truly paid for parking and no accomodations were made for my inconvience. My expectations for booking 7 rooms at a time would have at least been to experience friendly staff. This was not the case. I was VERY unsatisfied with my stay at the Westin and will not utilize this facility to book any other hotel accomodations or recommend this hotel to any family, friends, or associates.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Topmodel1973 This was one of my best Stays Ever!
To the staff of the Westin Atlanta Airport , you all were awesome. From Darius that helped me with my bags upon my arrival, to the young man that checked me in and got me squared away in a very short time although the hotel was filled with several different events being hosted. There was a Family Reunion, The Nigerian Conference and I attended the BSI Conference so there was much activity out and about that weekend. But the staff was very professional always on top of every task. Ivan the bartender made sure to keep us all very happy as we lounged and just relaxed and met others at the bar. I would like for everyone to know if you happen to go to Atlanta for business, pleasure or for a special event try the Westin Atlanta it is people friendly, business casual, and family oriented and there is not too many hotels you can go to and get all three. This hotel is very clean, my room was spotless and the hotel is beautiful and you can tell immediately that the staff and management works very hard to keep it looking beautiful for their guest. The food was delicious and the prices were very affordable. I have never stopped or taken time out of my busy schedule to write a review but there was no way that I would pass up the chance to say something good about this hotel and their staff. They were the most friendly and beautiful people I have ever experienced at a hotel. Keep up the good work!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by SeattleChris Shuttle service frequently inadequate.
First let me state that I stay over 100 nights a year and have now stayed at this property twice in the last 10 days.
EACH time my flight came in the late evening I was unable to board the shuttle due to overcrowding. Each time there were about 10 others that were also stranded.
Seeing the shuttle was full, I called the property to inquire whether an additional shuttle was being dispatched, and EACH time I was instructed to wait for the next one that would arrive in the next 15-20 minutes.
I then asked to speak with a manager, and after some phone line transfer I was disconnected. By this time the next shuttle had arrived.
The second time, essentially was a repeat of the first, however, the shuttle driver did enlist the help of shuttles of nearby properties. There still was not enough room for myself, my colleague, and a family of 5.
So I called again, was told the same again, and asked for a manager again.
This time I was connected with whom I was told was a manager. I asked if this is normal procedure to tell patrons to "just wait for the next shuttle." She denied that this was their procedure and would dispatch another shuttle.
I leave it up to you whether you wish to stay here or not, but I would expect to wait at the airport curb for some time.
Clearly there is an issue here. In these difficult economic times, I see very few businesses that can afford to be lax in customer service.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Moshe123 Cleanliness needs improvement
I travel often and stay in different places. Obviously we look for a good deal since I travel with my wife and 1 year old baby. We checked in at the Westin Altanta Airport later in the day and did not notice till late that our room was not cleaned properly or not at all. We found hair in the bathroom, on the bed and carpet. Our baby was crawling and picked up lots of hair on her clothes. We decided not to say anything till check out because it was late and we needed to put our baby in bed. The staff was great during check in, dinning, and check out. Definitely the rooms need to be cleaned. Quite disappointed with our stay in the room.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Azania I didn't feel like a guest
When I 1st walked in the room it had a moldy smell to it. The chairs in the room was VERY dirty and had stains on them. I was scared to sit in them. When I went in the bathroom it was so small that the door hit my knee while I was sitting on the toilet. As I went to take my shower the shower head was spouting all over the wall outside the shower and in the vent inside the shower. That maybe where the funny moldy smell was coming from. The sink AND the tub was backed up and didn't flow down the drains properly. When I checked in I asked the gentleman at the front desk what time breakfast was and he told me 6:30am-10:30am...he never mentioned to me that there was a cost for breakfast. My husband went down the next morning grabbed a plate and made his breakfast and when he sat down someone then came over and told him "Oh the breakfast is $16.99." He almost choked on his food. $16.99 for eggs, hashbrowns, bagels, sausages, bacon, grits, oatmeal and fruit. OMG! You could go to IHOP and get a full layout for that price. They also charge $12.99 for Wi-Fi...McDonalds have Wi-Fi for free. I just couldn't believe the stuff they charged for and had the rooms looking like they did. When I checked out I told the front desk attendant about my issues, her response was thank you for telling me...I'll let them know. No apology nor was my stay adjusted for staying in such a hotel. I wasn't looking for anything free, but at least make me feel you guys were trying to rectify the situation. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Adam Awful Stay....
I stayed at the Westin Atlanta Airport for one night for a business meeting. When I checked in, the line was long. When they finally attempted to check me in, they did not acknowledge my Starwood Platinum status. Additionally, she did not offer me an amenity as specified by the program. They woman that checked me in was very extraordinarily slow and seemed incapable of understanding my questions.
When I got to the room, there was no stopper in the sink. The hotel is very dated and in need of a makeover. Also, there was no decaf coffee in the room.
During the stay there was a power outage. The emergency generator powered one elevator and none of the rooms -only the hallways so I couldn't get any work done.
After dinner (the restaurant was good) where I spent $150, I asked the front desk how to validate my guests' parking card. Nobody seemed to know. I finally went back to the restaurant and they did it for me.
When I checked out, I was told that there was no way for me to get an invoice for my stay because the system was down. They did not offer to e-mail me an invoice. Nor do I have an invoice.
The women at the front desk asked me "How was your stay?" I responded "Really Bad", and she said "OK." She seemed unconcerned about the fact that I told her that me stay was "Really Bad."
In a nutshell, the front desk is not well trained in the check out or check in process. I have since called and left two messages for the general manager who has not called me back.
I am generally very positive in my reviews, but this hotel is not one that I would recommend. It is far below the Starwood Westin standard for customer service.

text: I was reading job listings today on Masslive.com, and was first shocked and then just disgusted to read that East Longmeadow is currently seeking "substitute custodians" to work on an "as needed basis" in the schools. The pay for this position is $16.00 per hour! As a substitute teacher in East Longmeadow I was paid just $62.00 a day last year (which comes in at less than $10.00 per hour since you have to report before school starts). Many substitutes are certified teachers or college graduates who manage classes of 25 students or more, actually teach and keep things running fairly smoothly in the teacher's absence. I find it disgraceful that the school system values substitute custodians more than substitute teachers, and it makes me hope that people will refuse to substitute teach until they are paid at least what the substitute custodians will be paid. Of course I understand that many more subsitute teachers need to be utilized, and therefore the cost is great, but it is the principle of the matter. How do you think it looks to students to know you can make more emptying trash barrels and scrubbing toilets than teaching in our schools? Carolyn Bliss East Longmeadow |

I am a 27 years old and have been married for 8 years. I am the proud parent of two boys, one is 7 and the other is 3.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Honouring those who served
Winnipeggers pay their respects at ceremonies
All over Winnipeg Monday, people paid tribute to those who served during Remembrance Day events around the city.
About 300 people shivered in the cold at the Valour Road Memorial.
Al Purdy, president of Royal Canadian Legion Winnipeg Branch No.1 -- Canada's first legion -- said the service at Valour Road always has a very strong community feeling.
Valour Road was the new name given to Pine Street in honour of three residents who were Victoria Cross recipients.
"People are genuinely proud of that heritage," said Purdy. "There are always lots of walk-ups" to the Remembrance Day service, he said.
The students at Clifton School, just a couple of blocks away, have adopted the memorial to Corp. Leo Clarke, Sgt.-Major Frederick William Hall and Lt. Robert Shankland. The children often go to the memorial to pick up litter and keep the area clean, Purdy said.
A military spokesman told the crowd Canada sent a force of more than half a million soldiers into the First World War. Of them, 64 were awarded the Victoria Cross, three of whom lived on the same block of Valour Road.
Branch No. 1 past president Bill Campbell noted how many young people attended the service. Two very young children placed a wreath, which Campbell said was the most touching part of the ceremony.
The largest service was hosted by the Joint Veterans Association of Manitoba and the Canadian Forces inside the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg.
The highlights included the "passing of the torch" ceremony by veterans of the Second World War, Korean, Yugoslavian and Afghanistan missions.
"We have a simple but very heartfelt message for you. Thank you," master of ceremonies Capt. Michelle Dagenais told the war veterans present. "Thank you for your unwavering service in peacetime and in war here in Canada and abroad."
"May we always remember that the price of democracy is time and the cost of freedom is anything but free," 17 Wing chaplain Lt.-Cmdr. Rev. John Barrett said in his prayer of remembrance.
Officials representing every level of government paid their respects at the service, which was presided over by Manitoba Lt.-Gov. Philip Lee.
Thousands -- including a large number of small children -- turned out to the packed ceremony.
Cpl. Jonathan Nebel, his wife Kayla Thomas and son Lukas, 3, were among them.
Nebel, who comes from a long line of proud military veterans stretching back past the First World War, said it was important his son take in the experience.
"I want to pass on to him the legacy of our family through Remembrance Day and all those who served in our family," Nebel said.
Other events paid specific tribute to those who served on the sea and in the air.
Winnipeg's naval reserve division, HMCS Chippawa, held a service at its building at 1 Navy Way. The division is named after HMS Chippawa, which served on Lake Erie during the War of 1812. The unit was the third source of naval personnel in Canada during the Second World War despite being the farthest inland.
At the Western Canada Aviation Museum, guided tours hailed the triumph and sacrifice of many Canadian citizens who fought and died for their country. The museum features a display dedicated to the Victoria Cross, the highest honour for bravery, self-sacrifice and extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy. The museum display pays tribute to seven pilots from the First and Second World War, including William Barker and Andrew Mynarski.

A nuclear weapons effects simulator for Google Earth.
Created by Alex Wellerstein, 2013. (@wellerstein)
NOTE: Google is deprecating the Google Earth Plugin that NUKEMAP3D requires to work, and has not announced a replacement. Thanks, Google! I'm glad I invested so much time in your product. Unless they provide a replacement, NUKEMAP3D will probably cease to exist sometime in 2015. If a replacement becomes available, I will adapt the code to it.
Type in the name of a city:
Explosive yield (kilotons):
NOTE: Permalinks currently do not carry over fallout and casualty settings reliably. This will be fixed super soon.
NUKEMAP3D is a 3D nuclear weapons effects simulator. It allows you to visualize the effects of nuclear weapons upon geographic areas you are familiar with.
In order to use NUKEMAP3D, you will need to install the Google Earth browser plug-in.
Get the Google Earth browser plug-in
If you are seeing this message, then you either don't have it installed, or it isn't working correctly. (Or there may be some other unspecified problem with this website and your browser, too. This message comes up if something is fundamentally broken.)
Also, the Google Earth Plug-in is not currently supported on mobile devices, including the iPhone or iPad. I know, it's lame, but it's up to Google, not me. Whenever they support it, I'll make sure NUKEMAP3D works on them to some capacity as well.
As of late 2014, the Chrome browser team has stopped supporting the plugin technology that the Google Earth Plugin currently requires. If you are using Chrome, you must switch to a different browser (i.e. Safari, Firefox) to use NUKEMAP3D. If you find this incredibly irritating, rest assured, so do I.
If you can't get this site to work, you should try using NUKEMAP2.

Miu Miu Spring 2013 | Pictures
Miu Miu Spring 2013
Miuccia Prada delved into the past, specifically the '50s, for Miu Miu's effortlessly ladylike Spring '13 collection. "It's elegance done a different way," said Prada. With that notion in mind, she created impossibly refined dark denim skirt suits paired with crop tops and point-toe pumps, pencil skirts with patent jackets, and smart shift dresses worn under long car coats — all accessorized with leather gloves and fold-over satchels to complete the composed feminine look. While fur is not usually associated with Spring collections, Prada broke the barriers with an assortment of fur stoles slung over the shoulder and colored fur coats. Meanwhile, textural pieces, like the crinkled skirts and tops and dimensional abstract prints, showed off a modern element in Prada's chic offerings. Most notable was the forest-green car coat paired with the patent tan-colored pencil skirt — easy, unfussy, with just the right amount of panache.
- Trends: Oversize silhouettes, leather, statement prints.
- Colors: Indigo, white, tan, brown, red, forest green, gray.
- Key Piece: The denim skit suits were the perfect juxtaposition between casual and chic.
- Accessories: Leather fold-over tote bags, crackled point-toe pumps, stone bracelets, ballet flats, leather gloves, jewel-embellished flat sandals, fur scarves, point-toe flats, collar necklaces.
- Who Should Wear It: We can see fashion daredevil Solange Knowles in the sleek denim skirt suits and Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu's silk printed sheath dresses.

Apparently gold is the new white these days, especially at the "Bling on Wheels Show" in Dubai. And just when you thought it couldn't get more striking than the Mercedes-Benz SLR painted in chrome, out comes the first overall golden paint job on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, an automobile that is already magnificent by itself.
With eye-popping cartoon style, the end result of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG gold paint job is beyond words—kind of like its hefty price tag. The use of sunglasses is definitely recommended when looking through the gallery.

English Standard Version (ESV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. | 1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive grove, and he and his disciples went into it. |
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. | 2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. |
3 So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. | 3 So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. |
4 Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" | 4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" |
5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. | 5 "Jesus of Nazareth," they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) |
6 When Jesus said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. | 6 When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. |
7 So he asked them again, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." | 7 Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." |
8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go." | 8 "I told you that I am he," Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go." |
9 This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: "Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one." | 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me." |
10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) | 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) |
11 So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?" | 11 Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?" |
12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him. | 12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him |
13 First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. | 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. |
14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people. | 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people. |
15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest, | 15 Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard, |
16 but Peter stood outside at the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. | 16 but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the girl on duty there and brought Peter in. |
17 The servant girl at the door said to Peter, "You also are not one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not." | 17 "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" the girl at the door asked Peter. He replied, "I am not." |
18 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. | 18 It was cold, and the servants and officials stood around a fire they had made to keep warm. Peter also was standing with them, warming himself. |
19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. | 19 Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. |
20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. | 20 "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. |
21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said." | 21 Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." |
22 When he had said these things, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?" | 22 When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby struck him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded. |
23 Jesus answered him, "If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong; but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?" | 23 "If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" |
24 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest. | 24 Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest. |
25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, "You also are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it and said, "I am not." | 25 As Simon Peter stood warming himself, he was asked, "You are not one of his disciples, are you?" He denied it, saying, "I am not." |
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?" | 26 One of the high priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, "Didn't I see you with him in the olive grove?" |
27 Peter again denied it, and at once a rooster crowed. | 27 Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow. |
28 Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters. It was early morning. They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters, so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover. | 28 Then the Jews led Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness the Jews did not enter the palace; they wanted to be able to eat the Passover. |
29 So Pilate went outside to them and said, "What accusation do you bring against this man?" | 29 So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?" |
30 They answered him, "If this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you." | 30 "If he were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you." |
31 Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." The Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death." | 31 Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." "But we have no right to execute anyone," the Jews objected. |
32 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die. | 32 This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled. |
33 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" | 33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" |
34 Jesus answered, "Do you say this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?" | 34 "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?" |
35 Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me. What have you done?" | 35 "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?" |
36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world." | 36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." |
37 Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world--to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice." | 37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." |
38 Pilate said to him, "What is truth?"After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, "I find no guilt in him. | 38 "What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. |
39 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?" | 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release 'the king of the Jews'?" |
40 They cried out again, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber. | 40 They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion. |

I want to remind you that attendance of this meeting is by invitation only and I trust everyone has registered prior to entering this room. If there is anyone who is not a stockholder of the company, a designated proxy of the stockholder of the company or especially invited by the company to attend the meeting, we ask you to leave the meeting at this point. Thank you.
The Annual Meeting is being held in accordance with the company's bylaws Delaware laws. We will first address the matter described in the company's proxy statements dated March 15, 2012.

After that there will be a presentation regarding the company and an opportunity for stockholders to ask questions of the company's officers and directors.
During the first part of the meeting, until the ballot is closed, questions should be restricted to the procedures for the meeting and the proposal under consideration. I have proof by affidavit that notice of this meeting has been duly given and that the notice of the annual meeting of stockholders, proxy statement and proxies were mailed on or about March 15, 2012 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2012, the record date for the meeting.
We have at this meeting a record of stockholders as of that date. The affidavit together with copies of the notice, proxy statements and proxies will be filed within minutes of the meeting. We have appointed [Richard Chen], Senior Corporate Counsel of Rambus Inc. to act as the inspector of election for this annual meeting.
The inspector of election has signed an oath of office which will be filed within minutes of the meeting. Based on the preliminary review of the proxy cards submitted prior to this meeting, the inspector of election has determined that out of an aggregate of more than110 million shares of the company's common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date, were holders of at least 88 million shares of common stock are present or represented at the meeting which represents approximately 80.13% of all outstanding shares. That constitutes a majority of the votes eligible to be cast by the holders of shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Life / Food & Drink / Breads, Cereals, Grains, Pulses & Pasta Oats Oats (botanical name Avena sativa), while not as widely-grown and eaten as wheat, are one of the world's most important grain crops, particularly for people living in cool temperate climates. Distinguishable from wheat and barley by its open, spreading seed head, or ear, oats will grow in cool, moist climates and on poor soil, which goes a long way to explaining why it is such a staple in Scotland, for instance. Oats: a food usually reserved for horses in England, in Scotland supports the people. Aye, which is why in England you'll raise fine horses, while in Scotland we'll raise fine people. Oats are used as a filler in delicacies such as haggis and in hearty soups, and you can make delicious biscuits from oat flour and flakes, but it's probably as the stuff porridge is made from that oats are best-known. As can be seen from the above quotes, oats are also a common animal feed, particularly for horses. Indeed, it's possible that the cultivation of oats grew alongside the domestication of horses. Oats can be used for more than just food and animal fodder. Oat-based skin cleansers have become quite common these days, although this use of the plant has been known of for centuries. Variety is the Spice of Life The oats that we buy for our larder can be found in several forms, each dependent upon the degree of processing at the mill. Oat Groats This is the whole oat grain, with only the hard, unpalatable outer husk removed. Usually pale yellow in colour, they are long and thin with a smooth shiny surface, and look not unlike brown rice. They still have their entire bran coat, also like brown rice. Heck, they even taste a little like brown rice! Like other cereal grains they can be boiled and eaten, but if you've ever tried eating whole oats you'll understand why they are more commonly used after having been processed into one of the forms described below. Pinhead Oats Also known as steel-cut oats, and sometimes referred to as coarse, or rough oatmeal, pinhead oats are made by passing whole oat grains through steel cutters which chop each one into three or four pieces. Since they still contain the whole grain including the oat bran, pinhead oats are very nutritious. They also make by far the best porridge of all the different types of oats. Rolled Oats These come in two distinct varieties - jumbo and regular. Jumbo oats are made by first steaming the whole grain for a few minutes, thus partially cooking it, then passing it between rollers to flatten it out. They can be eaten raw in muesli, or used to make a coarse porridge. Regular rolled oats are made by putting pinhead oatmeal through the same process. They cook more quickly and make a finer porridge, and can also be used in oat biscuits, flapjacks, and parkin, as well as a topping on brown bread. Instant Oats If pinhead oatmeal is cooked for longer and rolled even more thinly, it produces the kind of oats used for making some types of 'instant' porridge. Since, generally speaking, the more you process a food the less nutritious it becomes, instant oats are best avoided if you want to get the full benefit of this grain. Oatmeal Like most other grains, oats can be ground to produce flour, and this usually comes in three grades - coarse (see above - Pinhead Oats), medium and fine. Medium oatmeal1 can be used in biscuits, scones and crumble toppings to give a nutty flavour, and can be added to soups for a thicker, creamier result. Fine oatmeal is the main ingredient in Scottish bannocks and oatcakes, which are traditionally cooked on a bakestone - a slab of slate or iron, which is set over a brick-built hearth. Today they're more likely to be cooked on an iron griddle. Nutrition Although not as abundant in most minerals and vitamins as wheat, oats are still an exceedingly nutritious food, and a very good source of iron. Whole oats contain more fibre than just about any other whole grain, and as much carbohydrate as most of the other grass-derived grains such as wheat and barley. They do however contain up to four times as much fat as other grains, so oats can go rancid much quicker and should therefore be bought often and in small quantities. Oats have gained a reputation in recent years of being particularly good for you, largely because of the high fibre content. Fibre is necessary in a diet to keep bowel movements regular, and there are two types - soluble and insoluble fibre. Oats are abundant in both. Insoluble fibre - as its name implies - doesn't dissolve in water. It has a spongy texture which can absorb many times its own weight of liquid, and it moves through the gut relatively quickly, carrying whatever it finds in there with it, earning it the nickname 'Nature's Broom'. Insoluble fibre is mainly found in whole grains, especially the outer parts, and in the skins of most fruits and vegetables. Soluble fibre, on the other hand, does dissolve in water and is turned by the process of digestion into a viscous gel which moves much more slowly through the intestines. It inhibits the absorption of sugars, particularly glucose, into the body, which means that blood sugar levels aren't subject to excessive peaks and troughs. Diabetics can therefore benefit greatly from a diet with plenty of soluble fibre. It is mostly derived from the inner parts of grains and from the flesh of fruits and vegetables. In the 1980s it was announced that 'Oats are good for your heart!' Well, there is something to this claim. One component of the soluble fibre found in oats is beta-glucans2, and this compound has been found to lower the level of cholesterol in the bloodstream. So accepted is this now, that no less an authority than the US Food and Drug Agency (FDA) allows products that contain at least 0.75 grams of beta-glucans per serving to legally claim that 'Soluble fiber from foods such as oats, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.' Medicinal Uses For centuries, oats have been used in folk medicine to ease a number of ailments and conditions, including stress and anxiety, eczema, psoriasis, insomnia, and nervous exhaustion. Oats have even been used to treat withdrawal from tobacco. Most of these uses are purely traditional and may or may not have been sanctioned by relevant government bodies or authorities. A tea made from one heaped tablespoon (about 15g or half an ounce) of oat groats steeped in one cup (250ml) of boiling water then strained and allowed to cool can be taken several times a day and before bed. A soothing oat bath can be made in several ways.
Cosmetics Oats are a common ingredient in many skincare preparations these days. Besides the aforementioned use as an emollient3, oats are frequently used as an exfolliant to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells. Oats can be found in bars of soap as well as in creams and gels, and home-made preparations can be made from easy-to-find ingredients, many of which you probably have in your kitchen. A very basic oat scrub can be made by grinding oat groats either with a pestle and mortar or in an electric grinder, mixing with a little water or milk, then rubbing all over the skin before rinsing off. Cornmeal and Oatmeal Facial Scrub
Oat and Aloe Facial Exfoliant A similar product to the above, but with the added benefit of aloe vera. Mix together equal parts by volume of finely-ground oats, finely-ground almonds, honey, and aloe vera gel. Apply the result to the skin with a circular motion, then rinse well and pat the skin dry. Oat Recipes Oats lag behind wheat in their ubiquity because they lack the necessary protein to produce gluten, and are therefore next to useless for making bread - the stuff of life4. Gluten is developed when water is added to wheat and other flours, and it forms elastic strands which stretch as the gases given off by the raising agent - usually either yeast or bicarbonate of soda - expand during proving and then cooking. Grains with high gluten content create light, airy bread. If however, you try to make bread with 100% oat flour you'll very probably end up with something more akin to a house brick, although a proportion of oat flour can be added to bread recipes to give an interesting flavour. This lack of gluten does however make oats very useful for anyone with coeliac disease or any kind of gluten intolerance. Overnight Porridge
Put all the ingredients into a slow cooker (crockpot) before you go to bed and set it to 'low'. In the morning you will have a pot of delicious, creamy porridge just waiting to be eaten for breakfast. It couldn't be easier. Serve with milk and sugar. Purists and Scots may insist that porridge (sometimes called 'porage') should be accompanied by nothing apart from salt. Parkin Parkin is a rich, dark, moist cake flavoured with ginger, and is very popular in the north of England.
Grease a 28cm (11 inch) by 18cm (7 inch) cake tin and line it with baking parchment or waxed paper, and set your oven to 325° F, 160° C, Gas Mark 3. Blend the oatmeal, flour, grated rind, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Over a low heat, melt the margarine, treacle, syrup (or honey), and sugar. When the margarine has melted, pour the resulting liquid into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Stir the bicarbonate of soda into the milk, then add it to the mixture and beat well to incorporate. Turn the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 90 minutes. The cake will be ready when a skewer or sharp knife inserted into the deepest part comes out clean. After removing it from the oven, allow it to cool in the tin for about ten minutes, then take it out and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Parkin tastes best if stored for a few days in an air-tight tin or wrapped in aluminium foil... if you can keep it that long. Oatcakes Oatcake recipes are common to several parts of Britain, particularly Scotland, Wales and Staffordshire. They're not really cakes but are actually thin, crisp biscuits which can be served with sweet or savoury toppings and accompaniments, such as cheese, paté , jam or sliced meat.
ANZAC Biscuits ANZAC (the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) biscuits originated during the First World War as a way for the wives, mothers and girlfriends of Australian soldiers to supplement the soldiers' army rations while they were away fighting. Since the only way to send parcels at the time was by ship, and since Australia is a very long way from where the fighting was taking place, this food had to be edible after as much as two months of travelling in a ship's hold without refrigeration. The answer was a Scottish biscuit recipe using rolled oats. Instead of using eggs as a binding agent, golden syrup (sometimes black treacle or molasses) was used. This recipe makes about 40 biscuits.

I'm going to focus more on learning to eat well for a lifetime and figuring out how to lose so I don't gain it all back again and more, than trying to lose fast.

Smart Solar: kit out your garden
Smart Solar offers a range of practical and aesthetically pleasing products for the garden, ranging from outdoor lights to water pumps for ponds and fountains. The company prides itself on coming up with innovative solutions to powering popular garden gadgets.
Solar energy is a feature of the majority of the firm's offerings and this is not only great for eco-conscious consumers, but also makes it easy to set up and use Smart Solar's products.
A guide to Smart Solar's products
To give you an indication of the kind of gadgets Smart Solar produces, as well as their standout features, here's a rundown of some of the company's top products.
- Lighting - Installing solar-powered garden lights is quick and easy, and they'll require very little maintenance. Smart Solar offers sets of lights that are ideal for illuminating paths and driveways, as well as decorative lamps that can add character as well as light to a garden. Tabletop versions are also on offer for use when you're dining or entertaining outdoors.
- Fountains - Water features are a very soothing addition to a garden and having a solar-powered fountain takes all the stress out of the installation. You simply position the solar panel close to the fountain and connect it to the low-voltage pump. Then you can enjoy the effect of cascading water.
- Pond oxygentaors - A pond oxygenator is useful to help keep the growth of algae at bay during the summer months, when oxygen levels in the water tend to be reduced. Installing one of these is also a good way to keep your fish healthy, if you have any. Similar to the fountains, a solar-powered pump is connected to the oxygenator.
- Garden furniture - Smart Solar produces an unusual table with lights embedded in the top. These can change colour (white, blue, green or purple) and may be set on a single shade or rotate between the four. A solar panel charges the lights during the day and a single charge can last for up to six hours. The table is also supplied with two rattan-style chairs.
For the eco-conscious consumer, Smart Solar products are an excellent choice for the garden. While the gadgets are priced affordably, you can save even more money if you shop at MySmartBuy.com.

Graphic Design Website Help
Hey everybody,
I'd call myself a pretty good coder...but I always seem to have trouble with the graphic design part. I never feel like my designs are *cool* enough and once I do one design, it's really hard for me to change it.
So now that I've prefaced this...haha. I'm making a website for a friend. It's for a music label/management company he created and I created a quick design and coded it the other day:
The problem is I'm not terribly happy with it. I'm more happy with just this:
which is just without anything in it.
My friend agreed that it didn't seem right. He didn't want the logo tilted for one. Two, he thought the colors weren't "edgy" or "risky" enough and they were too dull. I tend to agree with him here.
What's a good way to go about changing the site. Does anyone have any ideas, thoughts, etc? I guess I'd just like more input on what to try and fix.
Also, don't know if there's a better forum out there to post this kind of stuff...it's just I normally come to codingforums for help in coding so decided to try here for design as well. Any other forum suggestions would be appreciated too.
Thanks all, really appreacite any help.

First, I'm not completely sure this is where this thread should be. This sounds more like a website review section.
Second, generally bands go with a 'dirty' or 'grundy' look I think. I work for my college's student radio station. www.valpo.edu/wvur has a completely different style but thats what I've done. Check this tutorial http://www.photoshopstar.com/web-des...bsite-template and it gives a neat tutorial for that style.
Last, you have a simple design, and I like that - and I wouldn't stray too far away from it. There is a general tendency to overdo graphics, in my opinion, so don't feel too pressured to add lots of graphics. Just add graphics to supplement your design. Thats my opinion.

I think the question is in the right place as the OP isnt asking for a review but for help on how to proceed.
Its a nice start but yeah, your friend may be right in that its a little plain yet (and also its somewhat screwed up in Fx). As to getting a grungy look theres a great tutorial written by Cameron Moll on how to get that wicked worn look. And as the site is called This side up the theme could have something to do with a much used box that has been thrown around while being shipped from Siberia to New York (i.e. a wicked worn website).
Otherwise, to get some inspiration Im often browsing the CSS Zen Garden and its contributors websites and also the vector graphics section on iStockphoto.com.
A recurring element/ornament could help to get some edge to your site, something that breaks up that square content section.

Thanks for all those suggestions, I went through the grunge ideas and liked them a lot...ended up that my friend (who the site is for) liked one of the older layouts I had done which is just dark with bright text. You can look at it here: www.katherinewagnerdesigns.com/thissideup/ Turned out pretty nice but I will definitely use those grunge tutorials for later things! THanks!

Has there been a break today,
Stoned comedian Ringo?
Should I put the plates away?
Captain, are you sure they're coming in?
I am quail and quasar
I picked you up on radar
I do my job each day
Empties crushed and filed away
And there is nothing worse th'n
An undetermined person
Can I abuse you please it
In my subspace biographies?

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
8 Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, Remembering that there will also be many dark days And that most of what comes your way is smoke. | 8 However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all. But let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything to come is meaningless. |
